Motorcyclist remains unconscious day after wreck

A 46-year-old motorcyclist was flown to a San Jose trauma center Tuesday morning when a 2013 Dodge Dart changed lanes and collided with him, Salinas police said.

Officers responded at 10:58 a.m. Tuesday to Highway 101 and John Street where Alejandro Andrade went down on his Kawasaki Vulcan motorcycle.

A 64-year-old woman driving north on Highway 101 exited at John Street in her Dodge Dart. She took the off-ramp onto John Street where she made a right turn before changing lanes in front of Andrade, who was traveling west on the John Street overpass, police said.

Andrade struck the Dart’s left front fender and went down in the opposing lane. Although he was wearing a helmet, Andrade was knocked unconscious, police said.
